Most of these criticisms are outdated.

I'd take Swift 3 over any of those languages in a heartbeat.

In most cases, as a consumer, I want the framework to work well and be well-documented and well-maintained, all of which are provided by Apple.

We haven't waited a week for reviews for years. I submitted an app this afternoon and it was approved this evening. Review times are faster than Kindle store by far and marginally slower than Play at this point.

TestFlight supports 2k public beta testers, and has excellent built-in distribution, tracking, and support mechanisms (and is free).

I work with Android devs every day, and to be frank, they are jealous of us.
